Wow… 500 words? No more than 1 page? 1 page meaning no double-spaced? Then I really need to start shortening my essay, or think of something else to write. The problem with the essay I’m writing now is that it’s focusing on an experience that lasted for like 1 year. I don’t know how I’m supposed to shorten it without losing all of my transitions and stuff.

As for the extracurricular thing, how long do you reckon it should be? I’m going to talk about my passion for webdesign and how I’ve used it to help my community and school. I also mentioned some of the webdesign competitions I’ve entered and won, and how I got involved in webdesign in the first place. Do you think I should cut out the part when I said how I got interested in it or cut out the competitions part? There’s no way I can fit all that I want to say about it in 150 words :(
